[QUOTE="GILL-INOIS, post: 1800506, member: 747818"] We don't need to add payroll to make this team more succesful. We usually are around the top 10 area in spending give or take a few spots and tend to play around the same level. I actually liked that the Cardinals played some young guys this season with the mix of veterans they had on the roster. Mo has made some great trades and at the same time some questionable signings/re-signings and in general some guys just get hurt. Just looking at the mix of top 10 or so guys paid on the roster and guys like Molina, Matz, DeJong and Flaherty accounted for around $30M alone. Half hurt and other half underperform. I have no problem paying Molina as know this was his last hurrah. Wainwright has been good and don't mind the one year contracts. Cardinals don't mind paying short term contracts at bigger amounts cause they can wipe it off the books quickly. We don't need a superstar but do need to upgrade some positions. Mo has built a playoff contention team but not as much of a championship team. Hope we can add some talent to the likes of Goldschmidt and Arenado while they are still in prime and productive.
